Matthew 9
9
1Then Yeshua [God is Salvation] entered a boat; they set sail and returned to his city.
2They brought to him one who was sick with contractions, lying upon his bed. Yeshua [God is Salvation] saw their faith and said to the sick man: “Have courage my son. It is by the faith of The Mighty One that your sins have been forgiven”.
3Some of the Torah-teachers (Scribes) were saying in their heart: ‘This one blasphemes’.
4Yeshua [God is Salvation] saw their thoughts and said to them: “Why do you think evil in your heart?”
5“Which is easier to say: ‘Your sins are forgiven, or, rise walk’?
6“But to inform you that the Son of Man is able to forgive sins on earth”; then he said to the sick man. “Arise and take your bed and walk”.
7He arose and went to his house.
8The crowds saw, feared exceedingly, and praised The Mighty One Who had given power to men to do such things.
9It came to pass when Yeshua [God is Salvation] passed on from there, he saw a man sitting at the table of exchange: Mattityahu [gift of Yah] was his name and he said to him: “Follow me”. So he arose and followed him.
10He brought him to his house to eat. It came to pass while he was eating, that behold many tax collectors and sinners were at the table and behold they were dining with Yeshua [God is Salvation] and his disciples.
11The P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] saw and said to his disciples: Why does your Rabbi sit and eat with tax collectors and sinners?
12Yeshua [God is Salvation] heard and said: “The healthy have no need for healing, but the sick”.
13“Go and learn that which is written: ‘I desire kindness and not sacrifice’; I have not come to call to restore the righteous but the ungodly”
14Then the disciples of Yochanan [Yah is gracious] came to him and said to him: ‘Why do we and the P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] fast often but your disciples do not fast’?
15Yeshua [God is Salvation] answered and said to them: “The friends of the bridegroom cannot weep and fast while he is with them. The days will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast”
16“No man wastes a piece of new garment on an old garment because the force of the piece stretches the worn out garment and it tears more”
17“Nor do they put new wine into old vessels lest the vessels break, and the wine spills out and the vessels perish. But, new wine is for new vessels and both of them are preserved”.
18It came to pass when he had spoken to them, a captain approached and bowed down to him saying: ‘Adon [Lord - Kurios of the Earth], my daughter just died. Please come and place your hand upon her and restore her to life’.
19Yeshua [God is Salvation] arose and went, he and his disciples with him.
20Behold a woman with a flow of blood for twelve years came behind him and touched the fringe of his garment.
21She was saying in her heart: ‘If only I touch his garment. I will immediately be healed’.
22He turned and said to her: “Courage my daughter. By Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) be He; your healing is because of your faith”. In that same hour she was healed.
23It came to pass when he entered the house of the captain, he saw many people weeping.
24He said to them: “Go outside all of you and stop weeping because the girl is asleep and not dead”. But in their eyes he was as one who jests. They were saying: ‘Have we not seen that she is dead’.
25When he had put them outside, Yeshua [God is Salvation] went to her, touched her hand, and the girl arose.
26This report went out in all that land.
27Yeshua [God is Salvation] passed on from there, and behold two blind men were running after him and crying out to him: ‘Have mercy on us, Ben David [Beloved]’.
28He came to the house, and the blind men drew near to him. He asked them: “Do you believe that I able to do this? They said to him: ‘Yes Adon [Lord - Kurios of the earth]’. He said:
29“Your faith will heal you”
30The eyes of the two men were immediately opened and they saw. He commanded them saying: “Be careful lest the matter be made known”
31As for them they went out and made it known in all that land.
32Yeshua [God is Salvation] went out from there, and they brought before him a dumb man who was demon possessed.
33He cast out the demon so that the dumb man spoke. The crowds were amazed and said: ‘We have not seen it like this in Y’sra’el [he who holds onto the heal of God]’.
34The P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] said: ‘Truly in the name of demons he casts out demons’.
35He went around all the cities and towns teaching in the synagogues and preaching the good news and healing every illness and every sickness.
36Yeshua [God is Salvation] saw the crowds and had pity on them because they were weary and wandering like sheep without a shepherd.
37Then he said to his disciples: “The standing grain is much but the reapers are few”.
38“Entreat, now, ADON [LORD OF THE EARTH] AY of the standing grain that He send many reapers to harvest His grain”.

Matthew 9
9
Jesus heals a crippled man
(Mark 2.1-12; Luke 5.17-26)
1Jesus got into a boat and crossed back over to the town where he lived.#9.1 where he lived: Capernaum. See 4.13. 2Some people soon brought to him a crippled man lying on a mat. When Jesus saw how much faith they had, he said to the crippled man, “My friend, don't worry! Your sins are forgiven.”
3Some teachers of the Law of Moses said to themselves, “Jesus must think he is God!”
4But Jesus knew what was in their minds, and he said, “Why are you thinking such evil things? 5Is it easier for me to tell this crippled man that his sins are forgiven or to tell him to get up and walk? 6But I will show you that the Son of Man has the right to forgive sins here on earth.” So Jesus said to the man, “Get up! Pick up your mat and go on home.” 7The man got up and went home. 8When the crowds saw this, they were afraid#9.8 afraid: Some manuscripts have “amazed”. and praised God for giving such authority to people.
Jesus chooses Matthew
(Mark 2.13-17; Luke 5.27-32)
9As Jesus was leaving, he saw a tax collector#9.9 tax collector: See the note at 5.46. named Matthew sitting at the place for paying taxes. Jesus said to him, “Come with me.” Matthew got up and went with him.
10Later, Jesus and his disciples were having dinner at Matthew's house.#9.10 Matthew's house: Or “Jesus' house”. Many tax collectors and other sinners were also there.#Lk 15.1,2. 11Some Pharisees asked Jesus' disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and other sinners?”
12Jesus heard them and answered, “Healthy people don't need a doctor, but sick people do. 13Go and learn what the Scriptures mean when they say, ‘Instead of offering sacrifices to me, I want you to be merciful to others.’ I didn't come to invite good people to be my followers. I came to invite sinners.”#Mt 12.7; Ho 6.6.
People ask about going without eating
(Mark 2.18-22; Luke 5.33-39)
14One day some followers of John the Baptist came and asked Jesus, “Why do we and the Pharisees often go without eating,#9.14 without eating: See the note at 4.2. while your disciples never do?”
15Jesus answered:
The friends of a bridegroom don't go without eating while he is still with them. But the time will come when he will be taken from them. Then they will go without eating.
16No one uses a new piece of cloth to patch old clothes. The patch would shrink and tear a bigger hole.
17No one pours new wine into old wineskins. The wine would swell and burst the old skins.#9.17 swell and burst the old skins: While the juice from grapes was becoming wine, it would swell and stretch the skins in which it had been stored. If the skins were old and stiff, they would burst. Then the wine would be lost, and the skins would be ruined. New wine must be put into new wineskins. Both the skins and the wine will then be safe.
A dying girl and a sick woman
(Mark 5.21-43; Luke 8.40-56)
18While Jesus was still speaking, an official came and knelt in front of him. The man said, “My daughter has just died! Please come and place your hand on her. Then she will live again.”
19Jesus and his disciples got up and went with the man.
20A woman who had been bleeding for twelve years came up behind Jesus and barely touched his clothes. 21She had said to herself, “If I can just touch his clothes, I will get well.”
22Jesus turned. He saw the woman and said, “Don't worry! You are now well because of your faith.” At that moment she was healed.
23When Jesus went into the home of the official and saw the musicians and the crowd of mourners,#9.23 the crowd of mourners: The Jewish people often hired mourners for funerals. 24he said, “Get out of here! The little girl isn't dead. She is just asleep.” Everyone started laughing at Jesus. 25But after the crowd had been sent out of the house, Jesus went to the girl's bedside. He took her by the hand and helped her up.
26News about this spread all over that part of the country.
Jesus heals two blind men
27As Jesus was walking along, two blind men began following him and shouting, “Son of David,#9.27 Son of David: The Jewish people expected the Messiah to be from the family of King David, and for this reason the Messiah was often called the “Son of David”. have pity on us!”
28After Jesus had gone indoors, the two blind men came up to him. He asked them, “Do you believe I can make you well?”
“Yes, Lord,” they answered.
29Jesus touched their eyes and said, “Because of your faith, you will be healed.” 30They were able to see, and Jesus strictly warned them not to tell anyone about him. 31But they left and talked about him to everyone in that part of the country.
Jesus heals a man who could not talk
32As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, some people brought to him a man who could not talk because a demon was in him. 33After Jesus had forced the demon out, the man started talking. The crowds were so amazed that they began saying, “Nothing like this has ever happened in Israel!”
34But the Pharisees said, “The leader of the demons gives him the power to force out demons.”#Mt 10.25; 12.24; Mk 3.22; Lk 11.15.
Jesus has pity on people
35Jesus went to every town and village. He taught in their meeting places and preached the good news about God's kingdom. Jesus also healed every kind of disease and sickness.#Mt 4.23; Mk 1.39; Lk 4.44. 36When he saw the crowds, he felt sorry for them. They were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.#Nu 27.17; 1 K 22.17; 2 Ch 18.16; Ez 34.5; Mk 6.34. 37He said to his disciples, “A large crop is in the fields, but there are only a few workers.#Lk 10.2. 38Ask the Lord in charge of the harvest to send out workers to bring it in.”
